The process by which bacteria reproduce is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process by which bacteria reproduce is:
A. Binary fission
B. Budding
C. Mitosis
D. Meiosis
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes where the cell divides into two identical daughter cells after DNA replication. Mitosis and meiosis are eukaryotic. Budding occurs in yeast and some bacteria.

Question #1
Consider statements about cell biology: 1. The Golgi apparatus packages materials for secretion. 2. The smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis. 3. The rough ER is involved in lipid synthesis. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The Golgi apparatus consists of cisternae that modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids received from the ER for secretion or delivery to other organelles. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) lacks ribosomes and is the primary site for the synthesis of lipids, including phospholipids and steroids. The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) has ribosomes attached and is primarily involved in protein synthesis, not lipid synthesis. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #2
The animal that exhibits 'canine' teeth adapted for tearing flesh is characteristic of:
A. Omnivores
B. Herbivores
C. Detritivores
D. Carnivores

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Carnivores have well-developed, sharp, pointed canines for piercing and tearing flesh. Herbivores have reduced or absent canines, with well-developed molars for grinding. Omnivores like humans have moderate canines. Detritivores feed on detritus. Dental formula and tooth type are adaptations to diet. Dogs, cats, and lions have prominent canines.

Question #3
The hormone that stimulates the kidney to reabsorb sodium and water, increasing blood pressure, is:
A. ANP
B. ADH
C. Renin
D. Aldosterone

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Aldosterone, from the adrenal cortex, acts on the distal tubule and collecting duct to increase sodium reabsorption (and water follows) and potassium secretion, raising blood volume and pressure. ADH increases water reabsorption, ANP reduces sodium reabsorption, renin is an enzyme initiating the RAAS.
